Syncs, but nothing is on the ppc

[cchris]

Just got today, and first off, this thing is tiny compared to what I thought it was going to be. But, here's my prob I haven't had any luck in finding an answer. Device is recognized and everything, when i sync nothing shows up on the device and vice versa. I'm using outlook 2003 and the active sync that came with the phone. I also get some kind of dektop error 0x85010014 and a yellow exclamations shows up by the green sync button. Any Ideas??

Are you trying to sync to a work computer away from the office? I had the same problem with my work notebook computer. I had to go into the office and log in on the network in order for it to finally sync. Once I did that first sync on the work network, it works great regardless of whether I'm logged into work or not.


Now my problem is my home computer. It tries to connect and keep going and going and never actually connects.

No work Computer involved. Just my laptop. It looks like it syncs, but, nothing goes on my device. I can sync w/ WMP no problem though.

1 Other little thing. IN my outlook 2k3 on my laptop, I have both gmail and sprint mail going to the inbox. In my device i have 4 inboxes (gmail, outlook, sprint, texts) How do I get it where if im at work and get messages from gmail on my fone to sync onto my computer? IS there a way I can Merge all the mail inboxes on the device?? Thanks in advanced.

Thanks for the link...I have a problem with za too and activesync too so hopefull this will fix it.

That would be nice but I'm fairly certain there is no way to do so. However, I belive WebIS Mail (http://www.pocketgear.com/software_detail.asp?id=16906) does allow multiple accounts that are checked all at once and "pooled" into one inbox. i've used on the 6700 and it works well as an alternative...

Might have to check it out. Lets say I have an Email on my laptop and it syncs to my device and I leave, but I have to reply to that EMail. Can I send It out w/ my GMail on the fone, or do I have to wait tilll I get to my laptop and sync it back on there and have it send it out. ALSO Has anyone got their SPrint Email set up on the Device/? I seem to be not getting it.

Good question. Obviously, you can just change the outgoing mail server to say, gmail but I bet you knew that and were looking for the alternative: basically, like Outlook when you can change the account from a drop-down menu in the "From:" field. Obviously the default email client can't do that (which is shame).

I currently don't have WebIS mail installed (recently did a hard-reset fo the heck of it and did a "clean install" where I removed all the pre-loaded Sprint software) but I'll try to put it on in the next day or so and check it out. I'm going to assume that it can do that..but we'll see.

Yeah, I have Spint email setup and works fine...

Blantantly copied this from another post on some other board (lol), sorry about the formatting:

go to start > messaging > accounts > new accounts > choose a name > enter your email address (username@sprintpcs.com) > it will auto detect what service it is > make sure its selected on pop3 > incoming server= pop.sprintpcs.com, outgoing server= smtp.sprintpcs.com > enter username (everything before the @ symbol), email pw (which you may need to go to settings&preferences under pcsmail on sprintpcs.com, or call tech support to set), leave domain blank > click options > make sure you have "outgoing server requires authentication" checkmarked, nothing else > Finish
